Can You Help?

Invited by AnOther magazine to re-work their first ever cover for an exhibition at Colette Paris in February 2007, Nick Knight asked the SHOWstudio audience to represent the picture he shot in words. All literary solutions were counted, and subsequently animated into a typographical film to include the breadth of entries and evoke the palette of the original cover image.

About

Invited by AnOther magazine to re-work their first ever cover for an exhibition at Colette to mark the Parisian boutique’s 10th birthday in February 2007, Nick Knight asked the SHOWstudio audience to represent the picture he shot in words. Some tried to stay faithful to the image and offered lofty poetic mimicry; some decided to destroy Knight’s intimate idyll in favour of a more vernacular expression. The submissions also raised interesting questions: was this a portrayal of real nature or nature conceptualised? Either way, all literary solutions were counted and have been animated to include the breadth of entries and evoke the palette of the original image in a short typographic film.
